[quote=Anonymous]I was feeling the same way (and I am also a teacher in a role that does not require a lot of extra work at home) I have a younger teen who does not drive but we live close to activities and shops. He is expected to help on occasion (ride his bike to store to grab things) My husband also works a lot but stepped up a few years ago to do more errands and driving when he can. I think the engagement made him happier. Here are the changes I made: Saturday morning workout class, I get up early and go, it's a nice group of people and I enjoy chit chatting. Getting a new certification, it gave me a new cohort of friends, I enjoy the work and having extra tasks has forced me to budget my time better. I batch cook as much as I can so that the week is less hectic Try to have one busy day (Saturday-Sports, errands) and one more relaxing day (Sunday) in the weekend. tldr: engage in some new learning/something physical, let your family take on more[/quote]
